Would appear to be a Schefflera however I am not sure of species. Digitata is apparently one endemic to New Zealand.

Thanks, Alison - I photographed this tree in Te Puna Quarry Park near Tauranga where 25yrs ago some locals got together and started up this garden in which there are plants from many different parts of the Globe. My tree ID is not one of our natives. The leaves are very wavy.

Octopus Tree? Schefflera actinophylla?

Thank you, SheldaKay - the stalks are red, and the fruit shown in this DG link don't look the same as the fruit of the tree in my last 2 photos above.
